AI 产品解读YouTube Shorts blocking and redirection extension that converts Shorts URLs to regular video player URLs and hides Shorts content
Users who dislike the YouTube Shorts vertical video format and poor desktop UI can automatically redirect Shorts to play in the regular video player with better controls
1. User installs extension and it activates automatically on YouTube pages
2. When navigating to a Shorts URL, extension intercepts and redirects to regular video player
3. Extension monitors DOM changes and hides Shorts content (tabs, video thumbnails) based on user settings
4. User can toggle features on/off via the popup menu (enable/disable extension, hide Shorts tab, hide Shorts videos)

The extension is completely free with no payment processing, subscription management, or premium feature gating. All features (redirect shorts, hide shorts tab, hide shorts videos, extended GUI) are available without any paywall. The keyword 'subscription' hit was from _metadata/verified_contents.json (Chrome's signature file), and 'pro' hits were false positives from 'properly' text and JavaScript Promise objects.

- The extension operates entirely locally without any authentication system. It only uses chrome.storage.local to save user preferences. No login UI, no user account creation, no authentication tokens, and no external service authentication are present in the codebase.
Does what it's supposed to be, although you'll need to manually activate the function that actually HIDES the Shorts on YouTube as these are disabled by default. After I activated them in the extensions settings, it works as intended.
I almost didn't install it because of the bad reviews! But I'm so glad I did anyway. It actually removes shorts in one click when you check the Hide Shorts Video option. Had to check/uncheck it a couple of times, so try that if you don't see the result instantly.
Awesome extension! Works PERFECTLY (do not buy into the bad reviews.) Running it on iMac through Vivaldi.
Good, works
Youtube shorts are still appearing in side-bar and not removable, the only thing this extenstion does it allow me to view it as a normal video which is meh but I wanted NO SHORTS
does not remove shorts from subscriptions page
Amazing work! As a software developer myself i appreciate greatly the time and effort it takes to get something like this to work. So shoutout whoever developed this masterpiece in their free time you are a real one.
works as intended,
No issues so far. It does exactly what it says it does, which is great because I was about stop using YT entirely. I ABSOLUTEY HATE SHORTS and all of the employees at YT. They're the worst website managers in history and they have the best content. It's absolutely infuriating.
Works great! I haven't had a single issue with this extension, I'm so glad I can finally use the time bar in YouTube Shorts. YouTube Shorts has to be one of the dumbest ideas YouTube has ever conceived.
